Steel Ball Run chapter 80!

It's been a little longer than we like (haven't we said this way too many times?) but we're moving along at a way faster speed than we have before, and Steel Ball Run chapter 81 is ready to go and on its way! Guess what? Not only are we into volume 21 (!!!!!) BUT! After this we only have one, yes, ONE more chapter in the seemingly never-ending D4C arc! I bet it feels like a breath of fresh air to you all, doesn't it?

As for what's going on in the story... Well, D4C! This chapter marks the reappearance of two things which should be familiar to readers; one familiar to everybody who read SBR and one from... past times?! An old friend and an old enemy, both on the side of our heroes...

Steel Ball Run chapter 77

IN THIS CHAPTER OF STEEL BALL RUN, BEARS!

Hey guys! It's been a little while but SBR chapter 77 is out! It's the first chapter of volume 20, which means we're getting way closer to the end! And Araki's definitely letting us know. The tension is ramping up like crazy—what on earth is this new Stand power that's manifesting, and what the heck is up with the bear sign? As our hero team reaches view of the Atlantic Ocean, what on earth is going to happen next?

And back chapters are, as always, on mediafire.com/jojoproject for your convenience.

I also need to apologize. I've been doing the absolute best job I can to set things up to continue uninterrupted in my wake, but I'm (unfortunately) rather tied up in the organization of how JJP operates, and I will be out of the country in a week with dubious internet access. I'll be gone about two weeks, and I'm most likely going to have one terrible case of jet lag when I return. I've got stuff set up so hopefully my scanlation friends can put out a chapter while I'm gone, but I can't guarantee anything. I know you guys have been very patient with delays, so I hate to inflict more of them on you, but I think it's only fair to warn of a possible problem.

Steel Ball Run chapter 75

WHAT IS THIS?

It's been a very, very long time indeed. Some of you have called us SlowJo Project for this. I honestly don't blame you. There's been miscommunication that just would sound stupid if I went and tried to explain it all, but finally, we're done. Chapter 75.

And what do I have to say about Chapter 75? BADASS ACTION ON A TRAIN. Dio really gets a chance to shine this chapter (and incidentally, on one particular speech bubble, the only editing I did was to remove the furigana. It was kindly written in oddly typeset Roman letters for your convenience). And you finally get to figure out more about D4C, how it works, and what its weaknesses and strengths are!

This is also the last chapter which will be done as a joint with Red Hawk. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the slowness of this chapter; in fact, they were finished with the redraws earlier than the typesetting, and the slowness was caused by miscommunication between Freek and I about when each of us were available. Rather, their group has pretty much reached full workload capacity. We were already borrowing some members from another group they're friends with, and considering Otafreek already worked with them on some other projects other than SBR, it made more sense to get our extra cleaning in the future from I Eat Manga. Let's hear it for the wonderful cleaning help that has given us glorious spreads in the past, and for a future full of even more SBR!

HUGE CATCHUP POST

I have neglected this blog since pretty much forever, so here are the missing chapters.

Chapter 66: http://www.mediafire.com/?iv6m7idbfs0pwkr
Chapter 67: http://www.mediafire.com/?j2eilpc2v2ktyde
Chapter 68: http://www.mediafire.com/?83h65p52uq934yz
Chapter 69: http://www.mediafire.com/?74snetvfffbwl7d

I would also like to issue some clarifications:

1) I am not the entire project. I'm just the publicity dude, who also does miscellaneous stuff for the team. Please, in comments here and on other forums or sites, direct any thanks to the people who the credit page indicates actually worked on the editing or translation, not to Shizuka.

2) We have way more team members now. Please check the first post in this blog routinely to see who is currently on the SBR project; the part 5 scans, which we are NOT working on until we are done with SBR, are being done by a slightly different team who is still part of JoJo Project.

3) I'm terrible at updating blogs, so please if you need to contact me immediately with a question or you think the status is out of date, please use email to contact me: shizuka dot joestar at gmail dot com. I will respond within a few days, I promise.

4) We're trying for a chapter a week until we catch up with Japan now.
